What's the Story
- It all began in 1989 in the Berghuus kitchen: six-year-old Fadri Arpagaus was still stirring his first polenta somewhat awkwardly, with the big wooden spoon. But he acquired a taste for it: Years later, he moved to Bangkok and Canada as a sous-chef and chef and made himself indispensable as a private chef in Europe and the US. In summer 2019, it is homesickness that draws him back to the mountains. In the same year, the Savognin native takes over the traditional Berghuus Radons and oversees its careful conversion into a beautiful luxury lodge. Since then, he has led and shaped the Berghuus with cordiality, passion and his exquisite taste.
